Experience

May 2001 - Present: Research Associate at the Global Development and Environment Institute,
Tufts University at GDAE's Theory and Education Program I have been involved
the development of textbooks, text supplements, and other educational
material. I wrote instructor's manuals for Environmental and Natural
Resource Economics: A Contemporary Approach and Microeconomics
in Context. I am also writing topical educational modules and working
on the development of Macroeconomics in Context.

July 1999 - May 2001: Instructor,
University of Maine
As an instructor I taught several different courses. I taught an introductory
natural resources course several times over the Internet. I also developed
an introductory economics course conducted over the Internet. I proposed,
developed, and taught a course, titled The Consumer Society
that explored the history, theory, and social and individual implications
of mass consumerism in modern society.

May 1997 - June 1999: Research
Assistant Professor, University of Maine.
I worked on various economic analyses of Maine natural resources including
the impact of water levels on whitewater rafting visitation and economic
benefits, the effect of fishery regulations on angler site choice, and
the impacts of contingent valuation formats on moose hunters consumer
surplus. I worked on a public opinion survey asking questions about Maine
wildlife management. Another project measured the level of support for
various forest management regulations and Maine state public land acquisition.
In continuing work, I estimated recreation demand models for the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers using data from the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
I also taught an undergraduate class twice, Introduction to Natural Resources.

May 1995 - May 1997: Post-doctoral
Researcher, University of California - Davis.
This work for the Army Corps of Engineers involved several projects, including
extensions of my doctoral research on reservoir recreation and an analysis
of water-based recreation benefits in the Southeastern United States.
The work also included the first part of a project to estimate recreation
demand models for reservoirs and rivers in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.Jan.
1992 - May 1995: Student Post-Graduate Researcher at the University of
California B Davis.
My research included an analysis of the economics benefits Army Corps
of Engineers' recreation sites under various management scenarios. The
study focused on the impact of water levels, recreational facilities,
and visitor fees on reservoir visitation and economic benefits. In a project
for the Bureau of Land Management, I conducted a cost-benefit analysis
of wildlife/livestock tradeoffs on public land in Northern California.

Aug. 1991 - Dec. 1991: Teaching
Assistant at the University of California - Davis.
As a TA for an undergraduate resource economics class, I graded and lectured
several times.

Aug. 1990 - Aug. 1991: Research
Associate at the Pennsylvania State University.
I worked full-time on several projects including the development and implementation
of agricultural production surveys dealing with adoption of new technologies,
an economic risk analysis of agricultural cooperatives, and a study of
environmental risk perceptions.

Aug. 1987 - Aug. 1990: Research
Assistant at the Pennsylvania State University.
My research included a market analysis of organic agricultural products
and the valuation of changes in water quality using data on averting expenses.

Private Consulting ExperienceMay 2002 - Present: Private consultant for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Vicksburg, MS.
This project involves estimating recreation demand models for Corps reservoirs
in Arkansas and Oklahoma and analyzing the economic impacts of various
water management scenarios.

May 2001 - Present: Private
consultant for Energy and Water Economics, Columbia, TN.
I have worked for Energy and Water Economics on several projects related
to the management of water resources, including reservoir operations in
Georgia, river recreation flows in Tennessee, and water allocation rights
in the Midwestern U.S.

September 1999 - March
2001: Private consultant for Foster Associates, Inc., San Francisco, CA.
This project, sponsored by the U.S. Minerals Management Service, estimates
the potential ecological and economic impacts of oil and gas development
along the outer continental shelf of the United States. Oil spill scenarios
are analyzed to determine the potential recreation, commercial fishery,
and wildlife losses.

October 1998 - May 1999:
Private consultant for Industrial Economics, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
This work extends previous consulting work for Industrial Economics. I
am working on a meta-analysis of over 100 angler recreation demand studies,
testing for consistencies and the potential to transfer results across
geographic regions and angler target species.

October 1997 - April 1998:
Private consultant for Environmental Policy Options, Portland, ME.
This work involved two projects: an analysis of the National Survey of
Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation for the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and a study for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries
and Wildlife exploring the feasibility and economic impacts of lifetime
fishing and hunting licenses.

April 1996 - Oct. 1996:
Private consultant for the Bureau of Reclamation, Sacramento, CA.
This research included estimation of benefits accruing to waterfowl hunters
at wildlife refuges in the Central Valley of California.

Feb. 1996 - May 1996:
Private consultant for Industrial Economics, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
I reviewed and coded articles for a meta-analysis of angler recreation
demand models for a database for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Oct. 1995 - March 1996: Private consultant for Jones and Stokes, Associates,
Sacramento, CA.
This project involved an analysis of angler benefits along California
rivers as part of the economic analysis of the Central Valley Project
Improvement Act. The study estimated the visitation and economic benefit
changes associated with changes in fishing quality.

June 1995 - November
1995: Private consultant for Forest Guardians, Santa Fe, NM.
This study analyzed management alternatives for a federal wilderness area
in New Mexico. The costs and benefits of grazing leases were estimated
and compared to the benefits of wilderness recreation.

Oct. 1993 - Jan. 1994: Private consultant to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Vicksburg, MS.
This project involved development of a travel cost recreation demand model
for Missouri River recreation sites.
